Migrating workloads from VMware to OpenStack
summary
Recent VMware license changes push customers to migrate VMs to OpenStack; the uploader shows a working automation called Coriolis that registers in Keystone, exposes a REST API and CLI, and runs task-based workers to copy disks and perform OS morphing so target VMs boot. It supports many sources (vSphere, Hyper-V, AWS, bare metal), offers replica/DRaaS using change‑block tracking for app‑consistent syncs with RPO as frequent as once per minute and typical RTOs of 30s–5min, and demos a successful lift‑and‑shift of an Ubuntu VM to OpenStack.
